Security review (AIDLC Review — Security)

Compose with: backend-saas for API/auth patterns and architecture for boundaries and deployment assumptions.
Inputs
- PR diff and touched files
tech-spec.md (approved) — authorization model and public vs private surfaces- Stack context from the repo (e.g. .NET, Node, Docker)
Checklist
| Area | What to check |
|---|
| Secrets & credentials | No committed keys/tokens/PEM/live connection strings; patterns like sk-, AWS keys; .env misuse. |
| Auth & access | Authorization vs Tech Spec; missing [Authorize] / policy; IDOR risks; intentional public endpoints. |
| Dependencies | npm lockfile with package changes; avoid careless latest; NuGet; Docker FROM pinning. |
| Web & data | Unsafe HTML, parameterization, CSRF where applicable. |
| Config & debug | Debug in prod, default creds. |
